Summer Strawberries

June brings the sweetest strawberries of the year. This simple recipe is one my grandmother used to make when I was young and I laugh thinking about it now because she used to add sugar to everything (even the sweetest strawberries), but we all loved it and just adored her. Whenever she would bring home groceries she would always cut her fruit right away, put it in a bowl, cover it and leave it in the fridge. The original meal prep chef, if you will.

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t meal prep as soon as I get home from the grocery store, in fact I’m usually too tired to even cook. I know I can’t be the only one to feel this way about grocery shopping! To make myself feel a bit better, I purchased these great food storage boxes for the fridge. All I do is rinse my fruit and veggies and place them in their bins. This saves time later, and also allows for my husband to snack straight from the fridge. Here are the links for the fruit storage bin and the veggie storage bin I use. I will say that for this recipe you probably will have enough energy to make this even after a Costco haul.

All you need for this recipe is fresh strawberries, milk or water if you prefer, and sugar.
